Fed’s Kashkari: Backdrop of high inflation risks de-anchoring inflation expectation

Central Banks
  • Too soon to judge path of interest rates
  • Logical that tariffs are a one-off rise in prices but backdrop of high inflation runs the risk of unanchoring inflation expectations
  • Can’t allow inflation expectations to get unanchored
  • So far long-run inflation expectations haven’t moved much
  • Tariffs are somewhat inflationary and also slow growth
  • Independent monetary policy leads to better outcomes

There isn’t anything new here but commentary continues to run counter to the 65% chance of a June cut that’s priced in.
